1970 Map of Montezuma Peak SW

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Montezuma Range and Palmetto Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Esmeralda County, providing a glimpse into the region's mineral-driven history and water-resource management around 1970. Evidence of resource extraction is found at a prospect located on the eastern slopes, while the presence of an Aqueduct and several Water Tanks in the southern flats indicates the critical infrastructure required to support life and industry in this arid climate. Vital natural water sources like Railroad Spring and Cedar Spring are mapped among the foothills, connected by a network of Jeep Trails and a Jeep Tr. The topographic relief is defined by the natural corridor at Railroad Pass, a strategic crossing point between the two mountain systems.
